Joy was very attentive to our sweet Sadie girl. She gave her lots of attention and cuddle great one on one attention as well. Took her on walks and also kept us updated on how she was doing and sent super cute pictures. I will definitely use Joy again when we need over night care.

Miko was in good hands! He came home tired and happy because he got to play with a couple of other dogs during his stay. We also had to come home a day early due to bad weather, and she accommodated us with no issue. Highly recommend!

Leaving my Ashburg and Dingo in the care of Beth and her family was the best decision I’ve made for my pups. She was nice, caring, and always sent updates on how they were doing while I was working which meant a lot. I would highly recommend Beth as a sitter.

About: Hi! My name is Sage and I specialize in animal caretaking and welfare. I have lived my entire life with at least one animal in the house and I have been dog sitting on and off since high school. I am certified in three years of dog training and currently live with my lovely cat, London. I’ve never met a pet that I haven’t loved, and past employers would describe me as dependable, easy-going, and kind. My days are entirely open, except for the occasional one or two days a week where I am called in from one of my other jobs. I am also a full-time college student during the fall and winter time, but my summers are almost entirely clear. In my home, I live with my cat London, and four other housemates. If your animal stayed with me, they would never feel alone and would always have somebody in the house that can watch them or be there for all their needs. We have a lovely backyard full of grass, a back deck for lounging and sunbathing and a large neighborhood for daily walks. Your pet would feel like a king or queen in a castle! :)

About: I have had pets my whole life that have lived in the house. We have dogs, cats, and even a lizard I have taken care of! I was home alone a lot so taking care of my animals is first priority and a habit. I am a college student and working a seasonal job so there is times to for me to show your pet some love and taken care of! I have no pets at our apartment but we do live close to some parks and our backyard has plenty grass to play in! There is room if your pet has to be crated as well!

Grace took great care of our two kitties while we were out of town. She paid close attention to detail and was great at sending pictures and updates throughout the visit. One of our cats has asthma meds and the other is a wild child and Grace did great working with both of our kitt-os.

About: I currently have the privilege of sharing my home with two cats: Phoenix, my 12-year-old senior queen, and Maize, my energetic 10-week-old kitten. I believe cats thrive when they have a safe, enriching environment that respects their individual personalities, so I've created spaces throughout my home with climbing opportunities, cozy hiding spots, window perches, and separate feeding areas to help them feel comfortable and secure. Phoenix is happiest when we are quietly existing next to each other. Phoenix has taught me the importance of patience, consistency and quality time in the trust building process. I have taken the time to allow her space to take the lead on the type of relationship she was willing to have with me. Like a lot of us, I didn't have background of the 10 years of life she had before coming to our home. Seeing her open up, create snuggle routines, engage in our daily conversations over wet food preparation, pay the cheese tax whenever she hears the bag, take belly up naps in the sun and slow blink back and forth while snuggling has been the most warm, authentic experience I have gotten to experience. She's my little soul cat. Caring for Maize is a little more hands-on. Before each meal, we have a short play session to satisfy his hunting instincts, followed by mealtime and either more play or quiet time depending on his energy level. Maize has been in new experience in caring for a kitten so young. We found Maize after he came running out of a corn field wide eyed and fill of cockleburs. It was never a question in my mind as to whether he would be the next member of our family, and now we are the proud parents of a 10-week-old, black kitten. It has been a completely new experience, but so incredibly rewarding. He has come from hiding behind the toilet and hissing at any movement, to demanding face to face nudges and kisses several times a day. It has been so fun to get to know this small, new little life that will create so many amazing memories for our family for years to come! Now, the admin side of kitten care has involved scooping litter boxes multiple times a day, keeping his space clean, and creating a schedule of healthy amounts of play and rest. I also regularly care for my friend’s cat, Remi. When her family is away, I visit several times throughout the day to make sure she's well cared for and has company. I love hiding her food around the house to provide her a little extra enrichment and always offer as many pets as she'll allow before she lets me know she's reached her limit and gets a little spicy. Every cat is different, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each one's unique personality while respecting boundaries.

About: I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I have the biggest soft spot for them, and I have two dogs of my own. I have had my own dog since I was about 19, but have had outdoor farm dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been around dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other small animals for as long as I can remember. I am patient, detail orientated and I truly just love spending time with animals. Big or small, I love them all! I do work during the day, but I have the ability to pop out if/when I need to. I am free evenings and weekends. My schedule can be flexible if needed. I have a dog friendly home. To me this means there’s nothing but toys on the ground. Garbages are hidden and I am very aware of what is around my animals. I also have a dog park in front of my apartment!

About: I believe pet care is more than feeding and letting them out. I take the time to interact, play, and be present, so they feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. Whether a pet wants activity or quiet company, I make sure they get the attention they need. I’ve spent many years raising and caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and birds. With that experience, I know how to help animals feel safe and comfortable quickly, and I’m able to build trust and a positive connection with them! I am currently working remotely, so I will not be gone for hours on end. I have other activities I like to do like go to the gym, but most of my day will be spent in your home caring for your loved ones! Everyone knows that each pet responds differently to their parents leaving, so I like to go with the flow, making sure they are comfortable. If they want to spend a lot of their time relaxing and by themselves, I will give them their space, but will I always be there for them if they want to play!

Morgan was an excellent caretaker for my cats. She arrived at the expected times and made sure to send photos of what they were up to each day, and she communicated regularly about their habits—e.g., one cat didn’t want her food one day, but soon went back to normal. The cats clearly enjoyed her company, and everything was perfectly in order when I returned home. Morgan also went above and beyond to leave me a hand-written daily log of activities and the cats’ behaviors. I would definitely book Morgan again and recommend her to friends with pets!

Beans always was happy to go with Heidi and when I went to pick him up. Beans was happy and content with the attention and care he received. Plus the picture updates were always great to see how Beans was doing. I am beyond grateful for the great care and service Heidi provided.

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I am part of a rescue and have had many fosters throughout my home, along with many dogs myself.

About: If you are anything like me I find it stressful to leave my fur babies in someone else's care. I can provide a safe loving space for your fur kids to stay. Between a spacious home and a large privacy fenced shaded backyard for them to explore and play, we hope your pups will find our home a relaxing environment to stay. Our pups are our kids and are treated as so. We have owned dogs all of our adult lives and feel we understand dog behaviors. While you are away we will provide around the clock care in a safe loving environment. Whether your pup is a social baby and would like to lounge next to people or more comfortable in there own space I have the ability to meet those needs. Safety is a priority. With the large fenced in backyard, this gives the pups the ability to go outside and do their business, lounge, explore and play without the fear of run offs. Since I have always had dogs and cats it has been a priority to make sure my home is pet safe.

About: I have experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. I worked in a doggy daycare/boarding facility for about a year. I’m so grateful for that experience because I learned so much. I learned to read doggy body language really well, so I have the utmost confidence that I can help your pup feel comfortable around me! I currently work at a veterinary clinic as a vet assistant. I’ve worked with cats and dogs of all sizes, temperaments and I’ve had my fair share who are picky eaters. So I won’t be offended if your pup doesn’t take treats from me! I have worked with dogs who are confident, and dogs who are shy and just need some extra time to warm up to me. While the puppy appointments are great, I also have gotten a lot of work in with senior pets too! Whether your pup is going to push me out the door to play fetch, or would rather spend some time in the couch getting snuggles and belly rubs, they’ll taken care of just like they were my own fur baby. Hi there! I’m Elizabeth! I currently work from 7:30 - 5 Monday through Thursday. I am currently available for house sitting almost every Friday and weekend. I am available for walks or play times after 6 pm most days Monday through Thursday! I currently have 3 amazing basset hounds and 2 cats that I live with. Our bassets have a fenced in yard, but I’ve also lived with mixed breeds. My mixed breeds have been anywhere from smaller dogs to 100+ pounds! I understand that some pets are cautious around new people. When at work at my veterinary clinic, I take my time with dogs that are more shy. I want all pets I encounter to be my friend, and I know it can take longer with some pets.

About: Hi there! My name is Grace M and I'm a current educator who is available for weekend services OR weekday services, as long as they do not interfere with school hours (7am-4pm) I had a dog for 15 years of my life! Once I was old enough I was able to care for him when my parents were away and whenever I was home. Unfortunately, he passed now, but I went on to adopt two cats who I love very much - one is 5 and one is 2. I've done walks, I've stayed overnight, I've checked in at homes, I do what I can to make sure animals are taken care of in the most efficient way possible! I will make sure your pets enjoy the time that I am with them and I will make sure that you can put them into care that you can trust! As a teacher, I am unavailable during the work week between the hours of 7am to 4pm. I can do any walks or drop ins after those hours. Otherwise, I am free on the weekends, which includes Friday evenings! I have enough toys, trees, and scratchers to make sure my kitties stay entertained and happy. Scheduled feeding and clean litter boxes to make sure everyone stays healthy :)

About: I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I have the biggest soft spot for them, and I have two dogs of my own. I have had my own dog since I was about 19, but have had outdoor farm dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been around dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other small animals for as long as I can remember. I am patient, detail orientated and I truly just love spending time with animals. Big or small, I love them all! I do work during the day, but I have the ability to pop out if/when I need to. I am free evenings and weekends. My schedule can be flexible if needed. I have a dog friendly home. To me this means there’s nothing but toys on the ground. Garbages are hidden and I am very aware of what is around my animals. I also have a dog park in front of my apartment!

About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—and I pride myself on giving each animal the same love and attention they’d get from their family. I’m experienced with administering medications, following special diets, and providing calm, reassuring care for anxious pets. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. What Sets Me Apart: I focus on building trust through consistency, patience, and clear communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and preferences, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My background in handling multiple pets at once and caring for animals with special needs means you can relax knowing your pets are in capable hands. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight care, or weekend stays, I make sure your pet’s comfort and routine always come first. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s sticking to training routines, administering medication, or giving extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and comfort level.

About: I provide reliable, attentive, and loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies that need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs that require a gentler pace and extra attention.

Communication is one of my top priorities, and I provide frequent updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of affection, and the attention they deserve throughout their stay. work a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care during lunch breaks, after work, and on weekends. This allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care while ensuring pets receive consistent attention and companionship. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that best fits their needs.

About: I have grown up with two lovely pups in my house. I helped taking care of them and even helped in training our hunting dog! I love being around animals and especially dogs. I am currently a college student I go to school at the university of Minnesota state Mankato. I am majoring in sports management with a minor in marketing. Moving back to college means I’m away from my dog at home. I am not ready to commit to getting a dog of my own due to living in an apartment, but I wanted the opportunity to be around dogs. So, that’s when I found rover and thought it would be perfect for someone like me! I give a lot of attention to the dogs and of course love to take them on long walks as I am quite active myself.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all through my life, including chihuahuas, a yorkie, pit bulls, a dachshund mix, labs, rat terriers, and more. I love to create warm environments for doggos and give them space to be themselves. I currently work part time, but I can pet sit Fridays-Sundays and Thursday afternoons at times. I may be able to do drop-ins during the week. I can dog sit at the client’s houses and am willing to help crate train, gives baths, walks, and provide other various care services. I might be able to at my apartment, but have a dog myself and would likely need a meet and greet.

Miko was in good hands! He came home tired and happy because he got to play with a couple of other dogs during his stay. We also had to come home a day early due to bad weather, and she accommodated us with no issue. Highly recommend!

About: Hi! My name is Sage and I specialize in animal caretaking and welfare. I have lived my entire life with at least one animal in the house and I have been dog sitting on and off since high school. I am certified in three years of dog training and currently live with my lovely cat, London. I’ve never met a pet that I haven’t loved, and past employers would describe me as dependable, easy-going, and kind. My days are entirely open, except for the occasional one or two days a week where I am called in from one of my other jobs. I am also a full-time college student during the fall and winter time, but my summers are almost entirely clear. In my home, I live with my cat London, and four other housemates. If your animal stayed with me, they would never feel alone and would always have somebody in the house that can watch them or be there for all their needs. We have a lovely backyard full of grass, a back deck for lounging and sunbathing and a large neighborhood for daily walks. Your pet would feel like a king or queen in a castle! :)
